Cobalt Powder

Cobalt powders are produced mainly by hydrometallurgical process which incorporates three processing stages chemical dissolution(leaching), solution purification and metal recovery which is also called as autoclave processing.

Cobalt powders are produced mainly by hydrometallurgical process which incorporates three processing stages chemical dissolution(leaching), solution purification and metal recovery which is also called as autoclave processing.

Cobalt powder is used in powder metallurgy to create components such as:

  • High-temperature pressure valves
  • Sawtooth and helical rotor

Cobalt powder can be alloyed with other metals to form super alloys. These alloys can be used to produce:

  • Magnetic products
  • Wear- and corrosion resistant products such as Diamond cutting tools, friction components etc.
  • High-strength products
  • Alloys for lithium-ion batteries
